"All fruit juices, carrot juice, and beet juice are also high-glycemic foods. High insulin index foods, which are low on the glycemic index but still diabetogenic, include meat, fish, chicken, and dairy. We recommend against fruit for three to six months until the fasting blood sugar (FBS) stabilizes at 85 or below, and then only low-glycemic fruit such as berries, cherries, citrus, goji berries, cranberries, and an occasional apple. LOW FIBER Fiber is the part of the plant that cannot be digested or absorbed by the body." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"You can buy lecithin granules, or boost your intake of natural sources of lecithin, by eating or drinking soy products and beet juice.

These are just the things your body needs (after a rich meal) to prevent gallstone formation. Drink peppermint tea or add a few drops of peppermint oil to water." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"The sodium-potassium ratio needs balancing (drink raw beet juice, up to four ounces daily); supplement with B6 in conjunction with a high-potency B-complex vitamin; eat spirulina; and add seaweed to your daily diet. The Harvard Guide expresses the current allopathic medical perspective when it states unequivocally: "The only definitive cure for preeclampsia is delivery of the baby."144 However, women with preeclampsia are generally sent to bedrest unless the diastolic blood pressure is greater than 100 with bedrest." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Day 1 During the morning (after yout cleansing drink and stopping one hour before lunch), eat all the live fresh fruit or vegetable juice you want. beet juice is especially good. Do not mix your fruit and vegetable juices together, and feel free to dilute your juices. For lunch you can have more diluted juice, or a raw vegetable or sprout salad. Absolutely do not use bottled dressing. Make your own dressing from fresh olive oil and lemon or apple cider vinegar and any fresh herbs and spices you of your choice." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"The local industry relied upon the precise harnessing of fermentation in the production of beer and wine, and the making of alcohol from beet juice. Pasteur's work on the industrial problems associated with fermentation led to the discovery that fermentation was caused by live organisms. Pasteur also discovered the difference between yeast, which appeared round when viewed through a microscope and turned out to be essential for fermentation, and bacteria, which appeared rod-shaped under the microscope and turned out to be responsible for "souring" the beer." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Beets and beet juice have long had a reputation for being excellent for the liver, and in any case buying a juicer and making fresh vegetable juice on a daily basis (with some fruits thrown in if you like) is probably the best gift you can give your liver. 4. Take liver-friendly supplements. See below. Antioxidants and Others Also Assist Alpha lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that not only scavenges free radicals and helps protect cells but also helps regenerate vitamins C and E." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"I will also continue with the barley grass juice, flaxseed oil, and beet juice. The doctor says I may still have some bleeding episodes and that they will hopefully get less and less. The desire of my heart is still NOT to have a hysterectomy, although I do understand what he says about having quality of life without a uterus rather than a miserable life with a uterus. He suggests we give it six months or so with the nature cure approach. My iron levels have already improved dramatically. Sincerely with all my heart." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"I definitely recommend against the prolonged daily intake of straight carrot or beet juice. Both carrots and beets are extremely hybridized foods. They may heal one to a certain degree (because they are nutrient-rich raw plant foods), but once you reach a certain level of attunement, the body can begin to react to the sugar. I have seen many people on carrot juice cures begin to become unbalanced as they progressed in their cleansing. If used to sweeten juices, consider using no more than one carrot or one beet per 1 quart (1 liter) of juice." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"EVAPORATED CANE JUICE, CANE-SYRUP SOLIDS, CANE NECTAR, BEET NECTAR, CANE JUICE, beet juice, AND NATURALLY MILLED CANE ARE ALL BETTER FOR YOU THAN SUGAR. NOT TRUE! For starters, it's illegal and in direct violation of the FDA's Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to use terms like "evaporated cane juice" and "beet nectar" because they suggest that the food contains no sugar, which is misleading. "Sugar is a strictly defined term by the FDA. You must use the designated term," an FDA spokesman explained." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

Also very beneficial to those with gallbladder problems. Start with a small amount as it is very potent. If you do O.K., add more the next time you juice." - Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C., If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It! The No-nonsense Guide to an Eating-for-Health Lifestyle (Get the book.)

"Drink beet juice (from roots and greens), carrot juice (a source of beta-carotene), fresh cabbage juice, and asparagus juice often. Grape, black cherry, and all dark-colored juices are good, as are black currants. Also beneficial is apple juice, if it is fresh. Fruit juices are best taken in the morning, vegetable juices in the afternoon. Q Drink spring or steam-distilled water only, not tap water. Increased levels of contaminants in public water have been associated with an increased rate of lung, bladder, and breast cancers, as well as leukemia. Q Limit your consumption of dairy products." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "The best juices for blood purification are lemon juice, beet juice and its tops, carrot juice, and the juices of all leafy greens. Leafy green juices are particularly important because they supply chlorophyll, an essential part of any blood purification therapy. Chlorophyll not only cleanses the blood of impurities, but also builds up the blood with important nutrients, promotes regularity, and inhibits cellular damage from radiation. This makes chlorophyll helpful in the treatment of many disorders. Wheatgrass, barley, and alfalfa juices are all rich in chlorophyll." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Use about one fourth beet juice to three fourths carrot juice. Noni juice is also excellent, and is said to works wonders. These are great ways to start building some strength and energy. Drink the Noni juice separately from vegetable juice a couple hours apart because Noni comes from fruit. Noni is the only fruit juice I will drink when cancer is present and is said to be a great cancer fighter. Most other juices contain too much sugar. Remember, cancer loves sugar. Check out this Website: www.cancer-prevention.net. It will give you hope and has a lot of excellent information." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.) "Add about 1/4 beet juice to 3/4 carrot juice. You can add celery, wheat grass and/or other vegetables as well. It makes a good mix that tastes great and is very healthy. Add a little ice and blend it in, it's better cold. I find it best to drink this in the morning, on an empty stomach, along with taking my supplements, but anytime during the day is great and two or three times a day is better. Another often overlooked tip is to make sure your ice is not from your water supply if you're using city water, because of the chlorine, fluoride, and sometimes other toxins found in city water." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Beet juice also cleanses the liver. Q Avoid sugar and products containing sugar. People who consume an excessive amount of sugar are much more likely to form gallstones. Avoid all animal fat and meat, saturated fats (found primarily in meat), full-fat dairy products, fried foods, spicy foods, margarine, soft drinks, commercial oils, chocolate, and refined carbohydrates. Q While you have pain, nausea and/or vomiting, and fever, follow a fasting program and use coffee enemas for a few days. The coffee enema is important. You can also use garlic in the enema." - Phyllis A.

"Some of Stonyfield's yogurts for older kids appear berry-flavored, but they have no fruit at all; their sweetness comes from juice concentrate and sugars, of course, and their color comes from beet juice. Stonyfield may be organic, but it is Big Yogurt; Groupe Danone owns 85 percent of the company. So is yogurt a health food or not? It depends. Beyond the marketing hype, I think there may be something to the acidophilus story, and I like the idea that friendly bacteria replace the bad ones and do good things for health." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Drink "green drinks," carrot juice, and beet juice. (See juicing in Part Three.) Q Drink only steam-distilled water. Q Consume no alcohol in any form. Propylene glycol is a compound related to alcohol that is commonly used in medicines that are supposed to be alcohol-free. It too should be avoided. Q Avoid all fats, sugar, and highly processed foods. Q Avoid all raw fish and shellfish, and eat no animal protein. Also avoid chemicals and food additives. Q Get plenty of bed rest." - Phyllis A.

"Siegmund Schmidt, reported in Raw Energy by Susan and Leslie Kenton, indicated that raw beet juice has been successfully used to prevent and cure radiation-induced cancers. The beet juice is particularly high in a specific anthocyan which is active against cancer and leukemia. It must be mentioned that if one lives in an area where the groundwater might be contaminated with radioactivity, beets—since they are below-ground vegetables—maybe more exposed to the radioactive water than above-ground types of vegetables." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.)

"Though much more research needs to be done, some scientists suspect that the compound that gives beets their rich, crimson color—betacyanin—is also a powerful tumor-fighting agent. "Beet juice is used in Europe for the treatment of cancer," says Eleonore Blaurock-Busch, Ph.D., president of Trace Minerals International in Boulder, Colorado. "The pigment found in beets may have anti-cancer properties." In one study on beets' effectiveness against cancer, researchers tested beet juice, along with the juices of other vegetables and fruits, against some common cancer-causing chemicals." - Prevention Magazine, Prevention's New Foods for Healing: Capture the Powerful Cures of More Than 100 Common Foods (Get the book.) "Giving Cancer the Red Flag Folk medicine is full of stories about using beets and beet juice for fighting cancer.

"It also is useful in treating anemia and liver disorders. beet juice is best combined with other vegetable juices to buffer its powerful cleansing action, which can cause nausea and dizziness because it releases nutrients very quickly. Also, its strong, earthy taste is more palatable if it is combined with other juices. If you do drink pure beet juice, do not consume more than 4 ounces at a time, and dilute the juice with 2 or more ounces of quality water." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Dietary Wellness: Using Foods to Heal (Get the book.)

"In a study of patients with stomach cancer, beet juice was found to be a potent inhibitor of the formation of nitrosamines (cancer-causing compounds derived primarily from the ingestion of nitrates from smoked or cured meats) as well as the cell mutations caused by these compounds. HOW TO SELECT AND STORE Good-quality beets should have their greens intact. The greens should be fresh-looking, with no signs of spoilage. Slightly flabby greens can be restored to freshness if stored in the refrigerator in water; if it is too late, you can simply cut off the greens." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.) "If desired, mix horseradish with a little beet juice for that bright pink color. To lessen the intensity a bit, mix in a little whole plain yogurt, sour cream, or mayonnaise or, for the traditional Austrian accompaniment to meat, a little applesauce. Also, to retain its maximum bite when serving horseradish with cooked food, add it at the end of the cooking process, after the food has been removed from the heat. Two final notes: Always serve just the desired amount of horseradish, returning the rest to the refrigerator as soon as possible, as unrefriger-ated horseradish will lose its flavor." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)
